Barkeep

Created by Jasmine Hirsch of Hirsch Vineyards and Rajat Parr of Sandhi Wines, IPOB is a non-profit organization created to celebrate wineries that strives to produce balanced Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in California. They have a Grand Tasting on March 16th at the Metreon City View, but we are fortunate enough to host an IPOB preview with some of our favorite producers!

There is an incredible assortment of good wine at affordable prices. Unfortunately, navigating a retail shelf can be daunting and difficult. Vinny Eng, most recently the co-director of the wine program at Bar Tartine, wants to demystify the differences between cheap vs. good value and ease the selection process. In this 2-hour tasting seminar, he will guide you through the process of identifying a good value wine.

Each week, we open our doors to bring you delicious food and drink. 18th Hour Café offers a changing weekly menu of craft beer, amazing wine, cheese, charcuterie and Tartine bread; prices range from $3-$20. The café features a curated schedule of art exhibits, a growing cookbook library, our instructor-curated retail shop and music. The goal of 18th Hour is twofold: to create a great space in the Mission for people to enjoy, and to support 18 Reasons public programming and community collaborations.
